[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to understand that New Yorkers have and must be obsessed with the city.  You give up so much to live there. [/quote]

You give up things to live anywhere.   NYers though give up things most of the rest of the USA takes for granted, while people living outside NY give up things only found in NYC, for the most part.   It tends to create agitation in both directions.  As someone who used to live in NYC, who now lives in DC, but who still is very fond of NYC, I find the sniping on this issue to be less than illuminating.

The only thing about NY I gave up by moving here is a little bit cooler summer and the subway. I don't miss the subway.  I would rather walk or drive.  I gained career growth, home ownership, lower taxes, the ability to live off of one income, being able to take more vacations, central AC, public school for kids, more personal space, being able to drive my car to the grocery store if I want and more.  Clearly I like it here!   Sometimes I do miss NY but I know it is not worth living in a rental and barely getting by on 350k.  [/quote]

There are plenty of other things in NYC that do not exist here besides those you have mentioned. I will not name them precisely because these rivalries are silly.  I am glad you are happy with your choice, but you seem in your own way as obsessed with the differences as some NYers are .   Can you understand that some people legitimately prefer each city/metro area?   [/quote]
